Green from the Get Go: International Contemporary Basketmakers, curated
by browngrotta arts and Jane Milosch, former curator of the Renwick
Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum, travels to the Visitor Center
Gallery of the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe, Michigan
this month. The exhibition, which features from more than 50 works by
artists who take inspiration from nature and the history of basketry,
will be open from
January 12th to March 9, 2013.
On January 12th, Tom Grotta of browngrotta arts will do a walkthrough from
11 a.m. to 12 p.m. In hosting
Green from the Get Go,
the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House honors the Fords' appreciation of
boundary-stretching artistic inspiration, while drawing attention to the
ever-more important issues of sustainability and the need for increased
use of renewable resources. The museum's intent in sharing these
artistic creations is to both heighten awareness of and draw attention
to an unlimited resource for inspiration - nature. In addition to
viewing the exhibition, when you visit, you can take a tour of the House
and surrounding buildings.
The Edsel & Eleanor Ford House is at
110 Lake Shore Road, Grosse Pointe, Michigan, 48236. The hours are
11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. For more information call: 313.884.4222 or visit:
